Mother of Pearl Rose Necklace, Purple Pearls Handmade Flower Jewelry


mother of pearl rose flower necklace gift for women

The "Garden of the Ocean" handmade necklace features a glowing hand carved mother of pearl rose pendant, purple pearls, pewter lantern beads and sterling silver - gift idea for women.


With a radiant mother of pearl shell flower pendant, the GARDEN OF THE OCEAN handmade necklace makes an absolutely delightful statement whenever worn. The one of a kind necklace features a glowing white mother of pearl carved pendant, rich purple baroque pearls and lead free pewter lantern beads. A beautiful hand carved rose with flowing petals and a stem with two leaves can be found in the middle of the mother of pearl pendant. A line was carved all along the outer edge. Because of the carving, the pendant has beautiful texture which is highlighted when the light hits it just right. Unfortunately, the photos don’t show just how luminous the natural radiance of the shell is as the light plays across it.  The back is silky smooth and slightly concave. To highlight the pendant perfectly, rich purple freshwater pearls make up the main body of the necklace. Since the large beauties are more oval shape, with many having natural ridges, they are called baroque pearls. Between each set of three pearls at the front of the necklace are glowing pewter lantern beads separated by sterling silver daisy spacers and small sterling beads. Each pearl is separated from the other with sterling silver beads for a sinuous feel. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the GARDEN OF THE OCEAN necklace is a lovely gift for the woman who adores unique artisan jewelry.

Beaded Necklace Choker




Just the right touch of bling, this beaded necklace choker will delight you! The pearl necklace is 16 inches long with a 3 inch extension chain. Peacock pearl jewelry like this lovely necklace is great as a gift for her. You will appreciate this handmade jewelry because it is unique and well made. This pearl shell necklace closes securely with a small silver lobster claw clasp. Each pearl is separated with clear Swarovski crystals and petite silver spacer beads.



Shell pearls are laboratory made from the shell of an oyster. The process of making a shell pearl involves several different stages. The raw material for the base of the pearl is the sea shell, which is coated and polished to the final shape of the pearl.



Materials I used in the necklace:

- Shell pearls - 10 mm, smooth rondelle shape, peacock color
- Swarovski crystals - 6 mm, clear, faceted
- Silver plated spacer beads - 4 mm
- Silver plated extension chain
- Silver plated lobster claw clasp - 10 mm

This necklace is handmade by me, Sharon, of Blonde Peach Jewelry. It will arrive in an attractive organza bag that is great for storage and gift giving.
